 In May, we reported that iPhone browser signature has been seen in the
wild, including here at MacRumors.com.

It appears the mobile browser has seen ongoing updates since that time, and
has since graduated from mobile version "1A538a" to
"1A543a". Small steady improvements are, of course, expected...
but after we discovered this new mobile version, a Google search brought up
this Google cached page where the iPhone was benchmarked using a mobile
download benchmarking tool at BroadbandReports.com.

How'd the iPhone do? 157K/second (1262 kbps) to download a 1024 kilobyte file.
1262kbps 0.223s (1024k) apple.com Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS
X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A543a
Safari/419.3


The iPhone gave up an apple.com domain address, so it was apparently on
Apple's local Wifi network, rather than AT&T's cellular network. All in
all, not much additional information as download speeds are affected by a
number of different factors... but does show more iPhone footprints around
the web.
